Noviodunum is a name of Celtic origin, meaning "new fort": It comes from ''nowyo'', Celtic for "new", and ''dun'', the Celtic for "hillfort" or "fortified settlement", cognate of English ''town''. Several places were named Noviodunum. Among these: * Jublains, Mayenne, France, capital of the Aulerci Diablintes * Neung-sur-Beuvron, Loir-et-Cher, as ''Noviodunum Biturigum''; the capital of the Bituriges, where Vercingetorix fought Julius Caesar in 52 BC. * Nevers, Nièvre, France * Pommiers, Aisne, France (oppidum of the Suessiones, situated on the nearby heights of Soissons) * Nyon, Vaud, Switzerland (formed the city centre of Julius Caesar's 45 BC foundation of Colonia Iulia Equestris) * Castra Noviodunum, a large Roman fortress and naval base near what is now Isaccea, Romania 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Noviodunum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
